Obama skips over cheesesteak


Sen. Barack Obama recently promised to have a cheesesteak while in the Philadelphia area, and John Serock of Serock Catering tried to help him out by offering cheesesteaks to the senator and the traveling press at an Obama event last Wednesday at Great Valley High in Malvern. Obama instead opted for grilled swordfish with brown rice and steamed vegetables. Obama's campaign did not return e-mails asking whether the candidate has yet had a cheesesteak. If he does, we hope his supporter John Kerry doesn't tag along. Sen. Kerry famously and daintily nibbled a steak from Pat's in 2004 after first asking for one with Swiss.

truthbetold, I wouldn't call you a racist, another name comes to mind. I thought the customer comes first? Nice way to pigoen hole your business and leave out other markets. This is exactly why we cannot attract tourists. Thanks.

Elistists do not eat cheesesteaks. And anyway...he is too busy eating his words. You think with such healthy eating he could afford suits that fit.

I own my own business and I cannot speak any other language except english. Does this make me a racist if I cannot understand non-english speaking people? I dont think so, If you want service, learn to speak the primary language, ENGLISH.

give me liberty or death
he does not have to have a steady diet of cheesesteaks but he should have one to show he is the man of the people. Hill took a shot to try to show it.

Hmmm, someone who doesn't want a 2000 calorie, 80% fat heart attack on a roll......He's too smart (and too fit) to be president of our fat lazy country.

Maybe his spiritual adviser, The Rev.Jeremiah Wright told him to avoid Philly and cheesesteaks. Maybe Wright could become his taste tester.
